A couple of initiatives have been undertaken since the last issue. First, we are attempting to collect and interpret data on the performance of the journal. Second, with the publication of this issue, we welcome several new staff members.

I have listened to many exciting presentations at division meetings over the past eight years, but only a fraction of these end up being submitted to the Journal for publication.  I urge you to dust off some of your previous…

Dear Members:   This issue not only contains a variety of very interesting papers but also a look at the upcoming officer candidates for the Division.  As members you will be given the opportunity to vote on these officer positions…

This Engineering Design Graphics Journal issue is the first solely digital edition with our new human computer interface design. Because of the rising costs of printing and the resource stress of today’s economy, the Engineering Design Graphics Division is feeling…

With current computer-aided design technology, the traditional tasks of a designer, drafter, analyst, and prototype maker are all performed by a single engineer using modern digital engineering design tools.  These digital tools include computer systems with 3-D solid modeling software,…

Fundamental construction in descriptive geometry deal with determining the intersection of various elementary solids, such as planes, cylinders, and cones.  Systems involving planes, cylinders, and cones are generally produced from sheet metal or other thin materials.  When panels of these…

The objective of this paper is to present applications of solid modeling aimed at modeling of complex geometries such as splines and blended surfaces in advanced CAD courses. These projects, in CAD-based Mechanical Engineering courses, are focused on the use…
